Freedmen vs Cherokee Nation

Can you believe AT&T is trying to charge me for installing a new phone jack in my house! When they did not! The phone jack in this house has been here for well over 50 years see photos below! If you're seeing those ads that imply that AT&T is giving the same service at the same price as Cable - they are NOT! The phone service is suppose to be $30.00 per month with free installation - when I got my first bill - there were all kinds of nickle and dime charges for such things as a Federal tax of some type - universal life line (what in the world is that!) all of these .49 cent to $2.00 extra charges amounted to about $10.00 per month, so the service was not $30.00 per month but was $40.00 per month. Don't get me started on the Internet service - it's wireless and keeps dropping, not to mention it's half the speed of cable but the same price cable charges! TV service well that was suppose to be much better than Cable! Not so, got a couple of extra channels on their ...

This is the O's transition web site...not one word about Native Americans... http://www.change.gov/

(I'm not sure where this came from) Barack Obama is signaling a shift in tactics and temperament as he moves from candidate to president-elect, picking sharp-elbowed Washington insiders for top posts. His choice Thursday for White House chief of staff - Rahm Emanuel, a fiery partisan who doesn't mind breaking glass and hurting feelings - is a significant departure from the soft-spoken, low-key aides that "No-Drama Obama" surrounded himself with during his campaign. And transition chief John Podesta, like Emanuel, is a former top aide to Bill Clinton and a tough partisan infighter, though less bombastic than the new chief of staff. The selections are telling for Obama, who campaigned as a nontraditional, almost "post-partisan" newcomer. People close to him say the selections show that Obama is aware of his weaknesses as well as his strengths and knows what he needs to be successful as he shifts from campaigning to governing. "No one I know is better at g...

Yep, the women candidates in this election cycle have been treated terribly!! We all saw what happened to Hillary Clinton! And now Gov Palin is being smeared and attacked! Who cares if Palin doesn't know Africa is a continent! She was running for VP of the US, she knows where the lower 48 are, hey, that's good - did anyone ask Obama where the US is!!! She's new on the political scene, holy cow, even Obama had a year to come up to speed, she had just a few weeks...you sure didn't see anyone giving Obama a hard time when he stumbled on issues....those people trashing and smearing Hillary Clinton and Gov. Sarah Palin are just plain self serving morons, and we can see through you, so maybe it was a good idea not to give your name/s! After all Oprah started a school in Africa instead of the US! So let Oprah's cult take care of Africa! There is so much corruption in that continent, any money sent there just goes into the pockets of dictators! We really need to be more car...

Indian Country Today ran an article of promises made by Obama to Indian Country in his own words....Oct 29, 2008 page 5 in part one on the page below... http://www.indiancountrytoday.com/digitalcopy 1. A Nation to Nation relationship; 2. he will appoint an American Indian policy adviser to his senior staff (Remember DC is far removed from Indian Country - unless this is going to be a travelling adviser); 3. an annual gathering at the White House (White House PowWow?); 4. End mismanagement of trust funds; 5. Settle unresolved cases - (hmm, the only way to settle the Freedmen vs Cherokee Nation case is to let us be a Tribe of Cherokee - our people have spoken by the way - however, the Congressional Black Caucus continues in a mean spirit to promote the Freedmen - the Cobell Trust Fund case has been ruled on by the courts, is he suggesting he's not going to follow it? Another Jackson here? Although probably would benefit these trust account holders if he didn't and raised the sett...

Now! I sincerely hope we can get past any name calling and racist remarks! Obama, after all is a mixed blood, white and black.... So for those Freedmen that now want to call us, Cherokee, racist, I sincerely hope you will think twice about referring to Native Americans as such - after all we don't have a President in office! And it is way past time for opening up that Congressional Black Caucus to any Congressional member who would wish to belong. (Pssst, Gov. Palin, I hope we see you in 2012!)

Obama's closing argument just the same old Pie in the Sky! http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/closing_arguments_obama.html

Did I see Gov. Palin in blue jeans in OH? Oh, I did, I did!! Blue Jeans - America's *durable goods* - symbol of working, middle class Americans - dependable, long lasting and yep, stylish.....:)!! Did I hear Gov. Palin say *thank the Lord* in OH? Oh, I did, I did!! Stand up and fight for our Middle Class and our Values - THEY made this country not WALL STREET!

Anytime you brought the Civil War up to my grandmother she would say: *and most of those boys were only 16 years old* We have no debt for Slavery!

You know, I'm finding many, including younger folks are believing this: Social Security is gone! I wasn't around when Social Security was started but every and I mean each and every year there is an election - there is this scare tactic that social security funds are gone or won't be there when we or younger generations retire! So for what, at least the last 75 years or so this has been the battle cry of some politicians...just ain't true folks! The bad part about social security is: it's not enough to cover expenses when you retire without some other sort of additional income. Just that simple! This battle cry among politicians was also used when these IRAs and 401K plans were being promoted...well, I guess we've seen what's happened to those investments...but at least in some cases the stock market WILL come back, chicken little will continue to lay her eggs and life goes on. The cost of living will continue to rise and taxes will continue to go up...so a...
